By the way, we are working on NaturCert+, which is our very own blog where we share our news and articles, and where visitors have the opportunity to share their activities and ideas with the rest of the world.

Our aim for NaturCert+, is to develop a public platform that will address a variety of issues related to responsible and/or sustainable travel & tourism and become a daily reading resource for a broad spectrum of visitors.

We aim to give the opportunity to bloggers to contribute and share their content relevant to responsible and/or sustainable travel & tourism on our blog and gain new readers and followers, more visibility and publicity, as well as better promotion while generating added value for the submitted content.

GOOD TAKE LAKEHILLS LANDLORDOh the conundrum of prdcieting inflation and/or deflation [maybe both, depends on the commodity?] for 2009 and even on to 2030 .It depends on the value of the dollar and what it buys abroad and in America.If we remain addicted to oil, then $1 Trillion a year goes to energy and into our great grandchildrens' debt ..will driving cars less help? Some, but food consumption has been down played by our media types as unattached to energy, where in reality it is almost all of our energy consumtion [per capita folks]. So is getting potable water out of deeper and deeper wells, without sea water mixed in with it. Ohhhhh, the water is needed for food too.So do we stop eating? For a lot of us, backing away from the table wouldn't be a bad idea, but tell that to a single mom trying to feed three kids on a limited income, with vegetables and fruit costing as much as meat lately.One thing's for sure, borrowing on our great grandchildrens' back is not the answer. Building a real domestic industrial base is going to take a decade or so, maybe longer. That will pull us out of the mess. How about assembling foreign stuff in America, will that help? Not really, the non-union foreign companies pay like $10/hr, try feeding yourself on that income. The engineering and college jobs would all be in, i.e., Japan and South Korea; little good it will do us with college degrees.Nope, nothing will get us out of this mess except a return to a domestic industrial base. How about in-sourcing foreigners to replace us? Isn't that far worse than outsourcing, but the government/media types will tell you the subsequent lower wages mean more jobs?Sometimes I can't imagine why we just don't get it as a country ..perhaps that's why I see a long horrifying downturn with no hope on our present course. The hope is get engfineers building real factories in America again, but that wouldn't fatten China's banks. But should we really care? Rate this comment: 0 0
